Is this moisture damage in pack n play?

Carini · 09-10-2013, 07:12 AM

I babysat some kids yesterday and used the pack and play for the baby's nap. I noticed the pack n play has some discoloration on the corners. The pad is the hard piece that folds up and keeps the bottom flat and secure. I can't remove the cover. Does it look like moisture damage?

Does that mean it shouldn't be used?

I don't know. I think that could depend... So long as it doesn't smell (which would just mean it needs to be cleaned thoroughly), and the base doesn't feel weaker in that spot, I wouldn't worry about it. I'd probably cover it with a blanket or sheet before laying the baby down in it, though. But I think it's probably fine.

It's probably just discoloration from a diaper leaking or spit up that stayed around because you can only surface clean those things. I'd give it a good go with some baby wipes with plenty of time for it to dry and then just go ahead and use it.

Looks like spit up stains same as stored baby clothes get sometimes.Can spray with peroxide and sun to try and bleach out

Surface: Wash. Air dry.

I'd just wash it. I've used soapy water to wash car seats and pack and plays. Rinse well. Set it in the sun to dry.

Yep, I'd surface clean it and stick a PnP sheet over it.

That's kind of what I thought but wanted to make sure it isn't some weird mold I don't know about.
